Why We Chose a 1-Year License Model for Our Software

When choosing a business model for our app, we wanted a fair approach that balances continuous product improvement with transparency for our users. That is why we settled on a yearly update license model.

Here is why we believe this model gives both you and us the best value.

1. Higher-Quality Software & Active Support

A yearly update structure keeps us fully incentivized to keep building, refining, and responding to your feedback. As a user, you get a product that improves continuously, bugs that are patched promptly, and feature requests that are actually heard.

2. Lower Upfront Cost

A one-time lifetime license forces developers to charge a steep upfront price to cover future costs. By spreading value over time, we can offer a significantly lower entry price. It also avoids the high overall cost of traditional monthly subscriptions—making it a far fairer trade-off.

3. Automatic, Frictionless Updates

During your active license period, all updates apply automatically in the background (as long as automatic updates are enabled). You won’t need to worry about manually redownloading new major versions or managing migration steps.

4. Freedom to Walk Away

We want you to use our software because you love it, not because you feel locked in. If your needs change, you can cancel or choose not to renew at the end of your year without feeling like you lost out on a massive initial investment.

5. Keep Your Version Forever

Unlike typical SaaS subscriptions that shut you out the moment you stop paying, your app keeps working. Once your license period ends, you retain permanent access to the last version released during your active year. While you won't get subsequent feature releases, bug fixes, or compatibility updates for new OS versions, your existing setup remains yours to use.

Aligning Our Success with Yours

Ultimately, software is never truly "finished." Building a tool that stays fast, secure, and compatible with the latest OS releases takes ongoing effort, and we want to ensure we're always around to support you.

By choosing a yearly license model, we align our goals directly with yours: you get affordable upfront pricing and guaranteed software ownership, while we get the stability to keep building features that make your workflow better every day.
